RAMIREZ-CHAVES, Héctor E e SOLARI, Sergio. On the availability of the name Cuniculus hernandezi Castro, López, and Becerra, 2010 (Rodentia: Cuniculidae). Actu Biol [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.100, pp.59-62. ISSN 0304-3584.
In this article we discuss the reasons why the binomen Cuniculus hernandezi Castro, López y Becerra, 2010, is not an available name according to the rules of the current International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Among these reasons are the lack of a precise description of the taxon and the failure to identify a type specimen. In addition, we highlight problems in the research design of the description of the binomen that affect the conclusions regarding the taxonomic distinctiveness between the populations of the Oriental and Central Cordilleras of Colombia.
